Joseph's Story
After attending Reed High for my freshman and sophmore years, I moved to Jamestown Missouri. I finished my last two years of high school and then continued my next two years of education at Central Missouri State University before joining the U.S. Navy.
My military career has been a very life changing experience for me. After completeing almost 2 years of schooling to become a Fire Control Technician, I was assigned to the Adams Class Guided Missle Destroyer U.S.S. Robison DDG-12. My 4 years attached to the Robison took me half way around the world and back again 2 seperate times. The two tours into the Persian Gulf took me to exotic places such as the Phillipines, Hong Kong, Pattya Beach Thailand, Sri Lanka, Cochin India, Musqat Oman, Manama Bahrain, Darwin/Mckay/Brisbane Australia, and Pago Pago American Samoa.

ars of Active military service and the birth of my first child, Carter, I decided it was time to get out and start my civilian career. After 1 year as an electronic bench technichian, I joined the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers. As an apprentice and being out of the Navy for 3 years, I joined the Navy Reserves. Two daughters, Little League, coaching, managing, board president, more coaching, working for Nelson Electric, and my recent tour of duty in Ali Al Saleem, Kuwait in support of Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom has pretty much occupied the last 13 years of my life. So with 22 years of military service I should be ready to retire but I have to much pride in my heart for my family and my country to call it quits just yet. My experience overseas recently I realized is needed. Besides, I haven't bought my sailboat to circumnavigate the globe as of yet. My goal is near my 50th birthday to meet or start on that life goal.
